Bohemian Rhapsody - The Movie, Due Out This Fall

Freddie Mercury and Queen Biopic

USPA NEWS - Since the early 70's, Queen has had their music playing in our homes, on radios, in movies and television, the Internet, and even at the Olympics. Most baby boomers know the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody and Queen's other songs by heart. Millenials hear some of their music mixed with rap. All age groups now will be able to enjoy it together.

(USPA) After years of planning, a change of directors, and new leading actor, the movie of all movies for Queenies and music fans alike is about to be completed. Brian May, guitarist for Queen since the groups inception is currently tweaking some of the music for the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, due out this fall. In a post from Dr. May’s Instagram account Wednesday, he was in his home studio “trying to play Bohemian Rhapsody badly.” I imagine that is for when his character in the movie is practicing and learning the song for the first time. Mr. May became Dr. May back in 2008 when he received his doctorate degree in astrophysics from Imperial College. All of the band members had college educations, but they enjoyed making music so much more, to the point that they knew that Queen was much larger than any one of them alone. A wonderful decision, for them and all of us.

While Bohemian Rhapsody is said to be a biopic about the late Queen front man, Freddie Mercury, it is sure to give us music fans a look into the inter-workings of the band during the early years until Live Aid, and not on to the illness that took Freddie from them and the world. In the teasers released this week by 21st Century Fox movie studio, we see a glimpse of Mary Austin, a woman Mr. Mercury loved from 1970 until he died. His love for Jim Hutton, his last companion is also seen. In another post from Dr. May on Wednesday, “the film is a portrait of Freddie as a human being,” as opposed to what tabloids and gossip have done to his memory over the years. Bohemian Rhapsody is set to be released in the United Kingdom on October 24th and in the United States on November 2nd. It is certain to be an early Christmas present for many of us!
